Where did your father go to work and what did he do?

My Dad taught school and farmed when he and Mother married. They both taught at Wylie Branch (in either Marion or Winston County). Daddy built a play box for me -- covered with screen wire to protect me from the children and the flies! I took my first step in that school room.

In 1921 Daddy began his career as a Rural Letter Carrier, serving Rt. #2, Hackleburg. He left home just before 8 A>M> (carrying us to school if the weather was bad). He was home by lunch time.

In the afternoons he did gardening, farming, car repair, yard work, and carpentry.

In 1948 Daddy took a rural route out of Russellville. They spent the rest of their lives in Russellville.
